Wout Berger

Last year I went to a group exhibition, here in Den Bosch. I bought the catalogue (which apparently disappeared), but I could remember one image which got stuck in my head. And today a friend of mine send me a link to a gallery here in the Netherlands and I saw the picture on the website. The Artist is Wout Berger, living in Uitdam, Netherlands.
If you want to see more of his photos, take a look at the website of the gallery Van Kranendonk (based in The Hague). There’s a link to Wout Berger, some info about the artist and some other pictures. Some of them are really different compared to this one, but they still have the same impressionist painter style I quite like.

“Imported Landscape” – Petur Thomsen

Petur Thomsen shows us, in his series “Imported Landscape”, a total different portrait of the icelandic landscape. If you think of Iceland, you’ll probably think of glaciers, mountains, green fields, waterfalls and hot pools, but not of a land with open scars, wounded by machines. Maybe that’s also one of the reasons this work won “The 10th LVMH young artists” prestigious award in 2004. Check out more of his work on Petur Thomsens’ website.
